All 23- 5th gen vibration Hard to pick a direct solution for your reasonably well modded setup but something a simple I do for a test when I get a bike with Vibe issues is run a clean tank different octane fuel. If the Vibe changes then maybe…
- Power socket locations??? Remove the plastic cap on the steering head and insert one of these. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAM-Mount-Fork-Stem-Mount-KTM-1-IN-Ball-Phone-GPS-Camera-Mount-Base-Tablet-Stem-/311611067744?hash=item488d778d60 My GPS is…
- Should I replace this stator? (pic included) 5 hours ago, Fritzer what causes the stator failure? If you rule out bad connections or shorts on the yellow stator wires, its energy feedback from the R/R not being able to dump its load to the battery.
- Thanks for the help and support, you guys rock! I just thought I'd add a similarity with the early Gen 5 VFR800 and the Ducati St2/4 ( not sure about ST3 but Ducati tends to work from a parts bin) They use the exact same Regulator/Rectifier!!! The difference is that…
- Thanks for the help and support, you guys rock! As Ducati ST4 rider, I bought a VFR800 to ensure I don't miss out on club rides and ended up enjoying both for different reasons. Both machines are very close in size, power and dimensions. The Ducati suspension is…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues 1 hour ago, skulkerboyo This is my RR by the way http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/RR53.html MOSFET, that's good. Be advised that much info posted here will be for the older style RR and mosfet has some desirable…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues 6 hours ago, skulkerboyo The other wires coming from the reg/rec - two red and two green - no idea what they do or what to test there. As you have a 2000 VFR you should have black wire also. Just check the harness block…
- 10 amp fuse keeps blowing You should have mentioned this but that fuse also does brake lights and the VFR has a stupid failure associated with this fuse blowing. OMG gee my VFR has another electrical problem. How unusual, not I just went through…
- Lost rear sprocket whle riding. An electric 12V rattle gun makes life so much easier for these problems. Don't cost much and saves skin
- Return of the 5th generation Nice :cool: . The last of the Pure cam gear driven non Vtec VF motors with a complimentary Staintune sound track and in red. very nice. Hope to see and hear it at the "Pie in the Sky" or "Road warriors" Café on the Old…
- Getting about 115 miles until the fuel guage flashes Fuel consumption varies wildly on these bikes. Generally my standard riding just gets me 300km at 1 bar left on the gauge but I just did a 310km country run last Sunday two up and still have 3 bars on the fuel gauge. I…
- Help...please Ummm, sort of and fiddly. But if your desperate and can't get the Allen head bolts your going to have to take into account that they are recessed into the back plate. You will require high tensile bolts and nyloc nuts…
- Oh good. Battery stopped charging and i broke down. Just a point on where to place the Voltmeter. Honda made a dogs breakfast of the Earth system on the VFR and I would put it that many regulator fails happen when the earthing goes intermittent stupid so I suggest you…
- Cooling system improvement ? You can gain up to 10% more cooling efficiency by changing coolant to something like "water wetter". Actual water is the most efficient but the engine will rot and if you live in a place that gets to freezing…
- Feels like a loose chain, but it's 100% not. Carrier bearing? Not all chains are created equal. Can be rubbish at any price. I recently ditched a funky not so old O ring type chain for doing the same crap as yours. Went back to a conventional chain with the spring…
- Fuel Pump Not Priming "Traced this to the usual pink/black connector badly corroded" Was this the pink wire running into the ignition lock. Output from that wire is low voltage and the ECU won't prime the fuel pump if not connected.
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 Can be hard to tell on an old bike when many parts are interchangeable. But 2 impractical things to change for no good reason, and easy to spot, would be ( as already mentioned) no choke lever on the 2000 model and if…
- Better Bulbs Just a few point on whats already been raised and a few ideas. 1. The vfr800 has IMHO about the best standard headlight that's based on a dual halogen H4 setup I've ever ridden with. Rated at factory 45 watts, with a…
- Copper or Iridium sparkplugs in 5th gen? Here's an idea. Change you plugs as often as you do your valve checks, its when I remove the plugs anyways so iridium is the go for me. In the manual it says plugs 12000KM and valve check 24000KM and repeat that cycle…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal 3 hours ago, RogerRamjet As far as I can tell, the possible culprits are: 1) the rear caliper; 2) the PCV; 3) the SMC; 4) the rear MC. How does one go about identifying the problem component? Pump the brake peddle to…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal 12 hours ago, RogerRamjet You're talking about the front left caliper with the Secondary Master Cylinder attached, right? I'm afraid I can't map what you're writing about to what I'm seeing in the manual (pp. 15-23).…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal 24 minutes ago, iThinkergoiMac This will probably be a winter project One hours work, just do it, get some resolution and enjoy your summer :-)
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal Hi. Just went through this problem and hope my solution is yours. Symptoms . On my 2000 VFR 800 I replaced all brake pads and bled the system and got a locked up rear wheel for my effort that was traced to the center…
